Answer 1

You can create the class object of your Asynch task class

in your activity like below example

customAsynchTask   mytask   = new    customAsynchTask();

and then you can stop the execution of the method as per your requirement

mytask.cancel(true);

like in your case you can use the .cancel on onpause of your activity .

Answer 2

Use like this:

@Override
    protected void onDestroy() 
    {
       super.onDestroy();
       asyncTask.cancel(true);
    }
